About Dropkick Murphys

Dropkick Murphys are one of the most recognisable and influential Celtic punk bands in the world, known for their powerful blend of Irish folk instrumentation and driving punk rock energy. Formed in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1996, the band quickly built a reputation for raw, high-intensity performances and songs that celebrate working-class pride, resilience, and Irish-American heritage. Their early years were rooted in the Boston punk scene, where their fast-paced sound, community spirit, and unmistakable Celtic influences helped them stand out immediately.

The band’s breakthrough came with the release of The Warrior’s Code in 2005, featuring what would become one of the most iconic songs of the 21st century: “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.” With its unmistakable riff and roaring chorus, the track reached a global audience after being featured in Martin Scorsese’s film The Departed. It remains a defining anthem for the band and a guaranteed explosive moment at every live performance. Other major singles such as “Rose Tattoo,” “The Boys Are Back,” “Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya,” and “Tessie” have further cemented their reputation as leaders of the Celtic punk genre.

Dropkick Murphys are well known for their immersive and energetic live shows. Their concerts often feel like a communal celebration, with bagpipes, accordions, banjos, and electric guitars blending seamlessly under roaring vocals. Fans can expect mosh-pit intensity, arm-in-arm sing-alongs, and an atmosphere that captures the spirit of both punk rock and traditional Irish gatherings. When they perform in Ireland, the connection is even deeper, as audiences share the cultural roots that inspire so much of the band’s music.

Over nearly three decades, the band have released numerous acclaimed albums, including Do or Die, Sing Loud, Sing Proud!, Signed and Sealed in Blood, and the more recent Turn Up That Dial. Their evolution has remained consistent with their core identity: music driven by storytelling, solidarity, and strong social themes. The band also maintain an active charity presence through their nonprofit organisation, The Claddagh Fund, reflecting their long-standing commitment to community support.

Their 2026 performance at Fairview Park offers fans the chance to experience their full-throttle live sound in one of Dublin’s most atmospheric outdoor settings. The show will likely feature a mix of greatest hits, fan favourites, and recent tracks — all delivered with the intensity, humour, and passion that have made Dropkick Murphys a beloved staple of the global rock scene.
